Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study it became clear that the teachers with an optimistic future image who think that the future of Japan is bright are increasing recently.
The characteristics of teachers who take an optimistic view of the future Japanese society is that the level of their consciousness of the autonomy of the profession is lower. And the characteristics of teachers whose consciousness of the autonomy of the profession is lower are that the level of their consciousness of the training of pupils in 21st century academic abilities is lower and they are not ready to carry out the individual and clinical education that help teachers cope with the reality of pupils in their educational practice.
This trend in younger generation is higher.
